KISS Suing Promoter Over Cancelled Canadian Concert

December 6, 2007

TMZ.com reports that KISS is seeking $900,000 in unpaid performance fees from a Vancouver concert promoter who allegedly promised to let the band rock and roll all night, then failed to secure a venue.

In docs filed with the Supreme Court of British Columbia, lawyers for KISS contend Big Mountain Concert Company pulled the plug just 12 days before a planned September 2007 concert in Whistler, B.C., resulting in "injury to their respective reputations."

Check out the lawsuit at this location (PDF file).

KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley was forced to pull out of the band's July 27, 2007 show in San Jacinto, California, about 90 miles (145 km) east of Los Angeles when his heart started beating at more than twice the normal level.

Stanley wrote on his web site that he was advised performing would be risky, and the show went on without him. Fellow principal Gene Simmons told fans the group would play as a trio, and turned the show into a tribute to his ailing bandmate.
